Many adults are self-conscious about their smiles because their teeth are not straight or they have large spaces in between their front teeth. They have covered their mouths for years when they speak, laugh, or smile. Not many adults want to spend years wearing metal braces. Six Month Smiles© is the answer. Contact Clint Bruyere, DDS in Longview TX and ask more about Six Month Smiles.
Six Month Smiles© is a proven technique for adults, that is effective, safe, and affordable to move misaligned teeth into proper balance in a short period of time. The average time for treatment is six (6) months but in some cases, may be only four (4) months or up to nine (9) months. This can be achieved because of the concentration on improving the position of your front teeth and not how your back teeth fit together.
If you are concerned about having changes made to your back teeth, then conventional orthodontics taking up to 24 months is the treatment of choice.
Six Month Smiles© has developed braces that are clear and blend in with your natural teeth. The wire used to move teeth into place is tooth colored instead of the traditional metal wire.
In cases of teeth crowding, the teeth must be reshaped by having small amounts of enamel removed to allow for movement of the teeth into the proper position.
Once you are satisfied with the position of your teeth, then bonded and removable retainers will be made to help keep your teeth in their new position. Wearing the retainers is extremely important to keep the teeth from shifting.
Just think, in six short months, the time it takes to return for your regular teeth cleaning, you could have a brand new smile.

Six Month Smiles FAQs
Who typically benefits most from Six Month Smiles treatment?
Six Month Smiles is best suited for adults who are unhappy with the appearance of their front teeth when they smile. Patients often seek this option for noticeable gaps, mild crowding, or slightly rotated teeth. Because the focus is cosmetic improvement rather than full bite correction, a dental evaluation is essential to confirm that this approach can achieve safe, predictable results.
Why is Six Month Smiles often preferred by adults over traditional braces?
Many adults want to improve their smile without committing to years of orthodontic treatment. Six Month Smiles offers a more efficient option by concentrating on visible teeth rather than comprehensive bite changes. This targeted approach allows patients to enhance their smile while avoiding the extended timelines associated with conventional orthodontics.
Does Six Month Smiles change how the back teeth come together?
Six Month Smiles is designed to improve the appearance of the smile zone without significantly altering how the back teeth fit together. This makes it a good choice for patients who are satisfied with their bite function but want cosmetic refinement. Other orthodontic options may better serve patients who need major bite correction.
Will Six Month Smiles look obvious when worn?
The appliances used with Six Month Smiles are designed to blend in with natural teeth. Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires make treatment far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Many patients feel comfortable smiling, speaking, and socializing without worrying that their orthodontic treatment draws attention.
How does Six Month Smiles fit into a busy adult lifestyle?
Six Month Smiles is often chosen by working professionals and socially active adults because treatment is efficient and predictable. Fewer adjustments and a shorter overall timeline make it easier to balance orthodontic care with work, family responsibilities, and social commitments. This convenience is a major reason patients pursue this option.
Is Six Month Smiles comfortable while the teeth are moving?
Tooth movement naturally involves pressure, but Six Month Smiles is designed to guide teeth gradually and gently. Most patients describe the sensation as mild tightness rather than pain, particularly during the first few days after adjustments. Comfort tends to improve quickly as the mouth adapts to treatment.
Can Six Month Smiles be used if teeth shifted after braces years ago?
Yes. Many adults pursue Six Month Smiles after experiencing relapse following previous orthodontic treatment. Teeth can gradually shift over time, especially if retainers were not worn consistently. Six Month Smiles can help realign teeth and restore a confident smile without requiring full orthodontic treatment.
How predictable are the cosmetic results with Six Month Smiles?
Because treatment goals focus on visible teeth, Six Month Smiles outcomes are often highly predictable. Careful planning allows the dentist to map tooth movement precisely. Patients who follow instructions and attend scheduled visits typically see steady progress and noticeable improvement within months.
What is the purpose of wearing retainers after orthodontic treatment?
Once teeth are aligned, they tend to shift back toward their original positions. Retainers help stabilize the results and protect the investment made in treatment. Consistent use of a retainer is one of the most important factors in maintaining a straight, attractive smile over the long term.
